I have to post a certain number of times before I can post a thread to ask a question so I am asking here instead- I have bought 2 legacy swingpacks this summer-chambray and bright coral. WHY does the strap only detach on one side? Is there a purpose that I don't realize to this? I cant figure it out. Thanks

It's so you can detach it & put it around your waist to create a fanny pack type bag.

Does fp only order bags to their store if you purchase it? I'm interested in the new saffiano baby bag, but my fp doesn't carry baby bags. And I want to check it out before committing to a purchase.
Thanks.

Yes, full price stores only order bags to be shipped to their store or to your home but it does not obligate you to keep it. You can always return it if it's not what you like.

This happened to me a few days ago too! In the auction pic the bag had a dust bag under it so I assumed the dust bag came with it--NOPE! It was just shoved into the ups box no bubble wrap no ghetto walmart bag packaging- nothing! So rude. And on top of that I noticed a small leather flake off on the crossbody strap. Oh well what can u do. That's the risk you take when buying used. Now if it was nwt I'd be beyond pissed it wasn't protected during shipping!

I am so sorry to hear that because I have gotten and sold some beautiful bags on EBay and people tell me they are packaged just as good as if they had shopped at the store. Please don't let one bag apple keep you from a good thing.

Thanks, but what I meant is, do u have to purchase it in order for it to arrive at their store. I didn't want to buy the bag until I saw it irl at the store before deciding to purchase it.
I know coach has a great return policy, but I didn't want the big charge on my credit card.

Yes you have to purchase it to have it shipped to store.

Yes you have to pay the money first as the store won't outlay for a purchase.

I think coach has found a nice niche in the north american market. For fp stuff anyways. Even though it's slightly more expensive than what others charge. Yet not so outrageous that there are customs officers that think your real coach bag is a fake, since it's an affordable brand. I think they need to find a middle ground somewhere.

dang it, it won't let me edit my post
Recognizing that the recession has affected consumers’ incomes and expectations, Coach is reducing its average handbag price to less than $300. Keeping its focus on customer needs, Coach seeks to maintain profitability by selling greater volumes at lower prices.[4] But, according to market research, consumers are still interested in buying inspired fashion, says Reed Krakoff, Coach’s executive creative director. Currently, Coach’s senior managers peruse sales numbers, customers, and even floor plans for merchandise displays to gather such data. This insight is reflected in Coach’s new, lower-priced “Poppy” collection, whose development involved market testing in 9 Coach stores and 23 department stores.

Am not copying and pasting entire article ... Just the headline and opening in screen shot one, as source for others to find if they want to read this I. It's entirety.

But what is so interesting here? What this source is saying about outlets ... Distance from FP as well as not offering deletes at outlet for at least one year after a bag is released?! That isn't right, COH investors.

Will keep buying my bags and shorting COH, at least for now.....
